Expert Buying Guide for 2002 Nissan Frontier King Cab
For your 2002 Nissan Frontier King Cab, the 6x139.7 bolt pattern is shared with 1998-2006 models. The 100.0mm center bore is critical; aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibration. Offset is sensitive: stock is 40mm; deviations affect handling and clearance. Always use the correct lug nuts: 12x1.25 thread pitch with a conical (60-degree) seat. Never use ball-seat lug nuts, as they can loosen. Re-torque after 50-100 miles.
